What could possibly go wrong?

By the way, if you’re trying to buy a sporting rifle with a 20-round-or-more magazine, good luck. I called my favorite arms store today, and they told me the Ruger mini-30 and mini-14 are next to impossible to get right now. I didn’t ask about high-capacity pistols (e.g., the Ruger SR40, one version of which is 15+1), but I imagine it might be the same story.

Now, I happen to own an SR40, so I’ve got one semi-auto pistol that’s great in a home-defense or concealed carry context. If it should wear out or break or something, I guess I’ll just festoon myself with revolvers. Happy now, gun controllers? Would you feel safer if I walked the streets carrying two .41 Magnum wheel-guns (with speed-loaders) and, say, a snub-nose S&W .38 instead of one semi-automatic pistol?

The direct comparison of the USA is with the entire EU, not with any small nation like Sweden. Especially in the healthcare thing, does the EU have uniform healthcare? No it never will either. 'Gun laws' are similar.

The situation is not uniform or static either. Look at the Swiss for example, where they have no national army, and every citizen is a member of its militia, every house has a war-shelter.

Do the US lefties regard Switzerland as 'extreme right wing'? Do they even have a clue of how complex the outside world is - I saw no, they are clueless, it's US conservatives who are in touch with reality.
